TITLE: Rebirth

It is still dark. We hear a dog barking far away. An old lighted tube attracts lots of mosquitoes. Then suddenly a silhouette appears, then a second and a third. In a few moments, we find ourselves surrounded by chrysalis on a human scale. A light source reveals a transparent body through the fabric that looks like skin. It looks like a changing body. The monks wrap themselves in their orange robe. A daily gesture of transition between sleep and wakefulness. Symbole of a new birth. Some cough, others don't say a word then they disappear, barefoot with their bowl.
